We are seeking an experienced Private Wealth Associate and CFP® professional to join a growing private wealth management team in Boston. This role combines comprehensive financial planning and case design with direct client relationship responsibilities.

You will partner closely with a Private Wealth Advisor to analyze client situations, develop recommendations, prepare financial plans and proposals, and participate in client meetings.

We are looking for someone who can think like a planner, communicate confidently with clients, and take ownership through execution.

Financial Planning & Case Design

• Build, analyze, and update comprehensive financial plans for new and existing clients.
• Identify planning opportunities and develop recommendations for advisor review and client presentation.
• Prepare proposals, scenario analysis, and materials for client meetings.
• Participate in client meetings and help explain planning recommendations.
• Develop strategies across investments, retirement, estate planning, tax considerations, cash flow, education funding, and business-owner planning.
• Evaluate life, disability, and long-term care insurance needs and incorporate insurance strategies into the client's overall financial plan.

Client Relationship & Execution

• Serve as a trusted point of contact for clients and confidently respond to planning, investment, account, and service questions.
• Develop a strong understanding of each client's financial picture, priorities, and ongoing needs.
• Execute client requests, including money movement, distributions, contributions, wires, journals, and other account activity.
• Support portfolio reviews, investment implementation, and trade execution.
• Coordinate with custodians and internal partners to ensure requests are completed accurately and on time.
• Maintain accurate client information, planning data, and documentation within firm systems.
• Take ownership of client needs from initial request through completion.

What We're Looking For

• Active CFP® certification required
• Bachelor's degree
• Multiple years of hands-on financial planning or private wealth management experience
• Experience developing comprehensive financial plans and recommendations
• Strong knowledge of life insurance and risk-management planning
• Experience working directly with clients and answering complex questions
• Strong analytical, communication, and relationship-building skills
• High attention to detail with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through
• Series 7 or ability to obtain the Series 7 within 90 days of joining
• Experience with high-net-worth clients preferred
• Experience with eMoney, Envestnet, NetX360, or similar platforms is a plus

Why Join the Team
